Research

Susana is currently working on several malaria studies in both children and pregnant women.

Susana has worked on the DFID funded programme, IMMPACT (Initiative for Maternal Mortality Programme Assessment) which aimed to improve maternal health and survival in developing countries by providing rigorous evidence of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of safe motherhood intervention strategies. Before moving to the Gambia, Susana worked on the HIB-initiative, a GATES funded research programme aimed at reducing risk of childhood death and disability through sustained use of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine. She was also part of the Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group of WHO and UNICEF which aims to estimate the cause distribution of neonatal deaths at country, regional and global level.
